Jam Another Dragon Down the Hole

Today as I was getting ready to go for a bike ride with the kids and Julie, I was screwing around with a pinky-squeek and my knarp cut through the cable for my brake. I totally killed my shin on the base of my brake lever. It was shredded, bruised and bledding. Kinda hurt. I kinda swore.

But I walked it off and, in true Brigade fashion, promptly ignored it. Glory is forever, chicks dig scars and pain is temporary. FUCK IT!

While I was at the beach saturday, I looked at the ocean from a rock that Toby and I had climbed. The ocean is such a powerful body. It's humbling. The kids gathered a bunch of rocks and it got me thinking...

Alot of the rocks look very pretty when they're wet, but once you get them home and dried, most of them are not so pretty. So when you're looking for a rock to keep and cherrish, sometimes you have to keep an open mind and bring home rocks that you may usually overlook. Sometimes the rock that becomes your favorite may be not be the pretty rock simply because it is not like all the others.

Paul you are searching for something that will never work. Otherwise you wouldnt get hung up on someone who is impossibly far away, when you have a so much that you "could" obtain nearby, and nurture.

Key point.......quit looking and notice what is right in front of you. When you are ready, it will happen. You are not at peace with something or you would be ready. Relax you are young.

So you had to travel across the globe to have someone notice you? Open your eyes, and let your guard down.

He's getting older, though. Our sex drive pretty much dies at 30...well...some of us don't lose our sex drive, but that's because we condition ourselves through a daily routine...kinda like Rocky did.

So by the time Paul has sex he wont know that his drive is gone. I guess not a bad deal. NOT

You've had that before, bro. You want more and there is nothing wrong with that, but treat it like riding. You don't take it personal if you can't get a trick right away, right? Would you love riding as much if you didn't have to risk to achieve?

What are the chances that you will ever have a relationship with her? Seriously. I mean, it's cool that you like her and that you're talking and stuff, but I am worried that this will become something you will get tripped out over.

Paul Paul Paul, I am sure that more then some chick across the world has interest in you. You just cant seem to see it. Maybe you are being a little superficial? Looking for a trophy bride to fit the bill?

Dude you are clearly already obsessed and "invested" so rethink what on earth you are doing.
Signed the older and wiser one.
